CLEMSON LOSES TO GAMECOCKS Hugh Stoddard Holds Mound for Nine Innings SENIORS END CAREERS Game Clinches State Champion ship for Carolina Birds By Julian Krawchek Ray Edwards relieved Hugh Stod dard in the ninth inning of the game with Clemson here last Thursday and fanned three Tiger batsmen in one two-three order to halt a threatening Clemson rally and clinch the game for South Carolina, 8 to 6. The Lavaliers entered the final frame with a commanding five run lead only to see Stoddard, who had pitched a steady game previously, weaken and allow the Bengals to shove over three runs and come with in hailing distance of the Birds, when Edwards came to the rescue, hitched up his trousers, and checked the en larged felines then and there. Five Carolina seniors, Chandler, Windus, R. Stoddard, White, and Cooper, attached a fitting climax to their college athletic careers by taking a big hand in the defeat of their old rival Clemson, and by giving Carolina a joint claim on a title that hasn't traveled Carolina way for years. Happy Edens for Carolina and Ma gill for Clemson, hit for the circuit, Edens' blow coming in the sixth with one man on base, while Magill circled the bases in the seventh unaccom panied by the footsteps of any other Bengal immediately in the van.

MEDALS GIVEN TO FIVE WRESTLERS Fowles and Gettys Furnish Fea ture Match of Evening TOURNAMENT A SUCCESS Hughey, Fowles, Rizzolo, Cook, and Anderson Win Various Titles Five bone crushing Carolina gentle men displayed cracking good form in the finals of the annual wrestling tournament last Monday afternoon at the University gymnasium to fight their way to victory over five other eqjually as eager but not (quite as hardy young men. Hughey, lightheavy; Fowles, mid dleweight; Rizzolo, welterweight; Cook, lightweight; atnd Anderson, featherweight, are the aforementioned young exponents of the manly art of catch-as-catch-can grappling that were able to toss asidle all opposition andl finally come to an understanding with their adversaries that they wvere the one~ entitled to wear the wrestling crowns in their respective e!asses at Carolina for at least one year, or until another tournament comes off. Fowles andl Gettys furnished the feature match of the afternoon, these twvo men grappling for the excltusive right to bear the mi(ddleweight crown. Fowles, a Coltumbia boy, won over Gettys by taking two straight falls, but the loser fought back gamely and gave the title winner plenty to think about before their little affair was ended. -Immedliately following the comple m of the matches, thec winners and runner-rips in each class were pre sented with medlals by Jack Craw ford, physical director of the UJni versity, who sponsoredl the tourna men t Fowl Tips WHATEVER DISPOSITION is finally made of the mythical state baseball championship, and we doubt seriously if it will ever be settled to the satisfaction of both sides, Clemson's claim to the pur ple necklace or whatever prize is awarded to the winner, is blocked by one insurmountable obstacle that the Jungle Beasts can't possi bly get around. T H I S LITTLE OBSTACLE, friends and readers, is none other than the fact that the Gamecocks hold two clean cut, decisive wins over the Clemson aggregation. So long as the Roosters have this little epithet to hurl into the faces of the Clemsonites, that worthy institution with all its boards of baseball strategy, won't have the heart to raise too large a howl about winning anything. CAROLINA UNDOUBTEDLY, needs a whole lot of things, some of which she will have and some of which she ought to have, but we seriously doubt if there are three things that she could use to better advantage than a swimming pool, a new chapel, and a press bureau. AS LONG AS WE HOPE to offer collegiate competition in swim ming, we've got to furnish our representatives with a place to perform in. You know it wouldn't look exactly correct to see the acquatic sons of old Carolina diving around in Melton Field or in the University Field House for 'hat matter. 4 IT IS NEITHER the job or the de sire of this department to mix in affairs other than those in the sports realm, yet we can't help but take note of the need of a new chapel at Carolina. With a student body rapidly approaching the two thousand mark, Carolina today, hasn't a single building to accommodate that many people other than the field house, and we certainly built that structure for other purposes than for use as a chapel. PROBABLY HOWEVER, t h e greatest thing that this institution needs right now is a wide awake news bureau. Other schools wvith enrollment smaller than ours, and with athletic teams and equip ment inferior to ours, receive reams of publicity through their news bureaus while Carolina is left in the lurch. How long is this situation going to last any way? REGARDLESS OF WHAT DIF FER ENCES in opinion there may be between Carolina and Clemson over the present b)aseb)all tangle, it is the policy of this writer to offer praise where praise is due, so we are taking this opportunity to heartily congratulate the Trigers on the proposed construction of their new field house which wvill be erected in the near future to vie with any in the South and the best in the North and East. AND WHILE WE ARE dishing out platters of rose tinted compli mnents, we might as well include the winning of the S. I. A. A. track tournament by Presbyterian College's tracksters. T hi e y'r e majoring in track over at the Calvinist institution in Clinton and the capture of a conference track meet of any kind is indeed a 1)oon to an institution in a state where track wvas looked upon askance a By 0. D. BLACK BARNEY SMITH NEW BASEBALL CAPTAIN Has Taken Active Part in Ath letic Work of All Kinds in Past By Melvin Karesh Barney Smith, brilliant catcher on the Gamecock horschide brigade and joint claimants for the state champion ship for the past season, erstwhile guard on the varsity gridiron aggrega tion of last fall, and a junior in the School of Education, has been elected by his team mates to the captaincy of the 1930 Carolina diamond workers. Smith will be a worthwhile succes sor to the retiring leader, Bob Stod dard, and with two years of experience on the varsity will be fully capable of piloting the Gamecocks to further heights in the realm of balls and strikes. The new captain hails from Ander son where he took a prominent part F I V E CAROLINA SENIORS, Iike Windus, Bill Cooper, Lou White, Bob Stoddard, and Chan Chandler, played a big part in turning back Clemson and giving their Alma Mater a joint claim on a title that she hadn't garnered for years. They have attached a fit ting climax to their college athletic careers and this department goes on record as' wishing them good luck and an open road in what ever vocation they choose to enter.
